FREELANCE OPPORTUNITY

GROUP SUPERVISOR FOR PSYCHOTHERAPY TRAINING

We are looking to recruit a supervisor to join the training team for the fourth and fifth year of our psychotherapy training at Re-Vision starting October 2016. The successful candidate will have a UKCP qualification in psychotherapy, a recognised diploma in supervision and experience of supervision within counselling or psychotherapy training. The post involves supervising a small group of student psychotherapists.

Key tasks are:

• Facilitating fifteen 3 hour supervision groups per annum Thursdays fortnightly over three ten week terms. Training supervision is an integral part of the overall psychotherapy training and separate from the student’s individual clinical supervision. Responsibilities include facilitating an in-depth exploration of clinical issues including parallel process that support the integration of theoretical material and the development of a constructive internal supervisor. A guide to supervision presentations forms part of the student’s handbook. An emphasis is put on supervision learnings when students come to write their case studies.
• Within the fees paid for the group (currently £135 per 3 hour session), there is a requirement for supervisors to provide written feedback to students at the mid-year and end of year and to conduct the self & peer assessment process. Supervisors are expected to keep notes to assist them in this process.
• Attendance at three training team meetings over the year, for which an annual fee of £130 is payable.
Staff are encouraged to join in the life of the Re-Vision community and participation in the Winter residential, staff business meetings and other community events is encouraged and welcomed, although not a requirement of the post, unless being paid to work at the Winter Residential.
Familiarity with the Re-Vision training and group work is desired.
